This is the longest running afternoon show in the history of Las Vegas. Because of this show, I have been given the wonderful opportunity to meet and befriend many stars that I probably would never have had the chance to meet in my lifetime! “
Bono and Sachs and the many talented performers are backed by the Bob Rozario Ensemble under the direction of Joey Singer on piano and includes Mark Barrett on drums,, Jake Langley on guitar, Bob Sachs on bass, and Mike McHugh production manager.
What a distinguished guest list Bono assembled for his anniversary show. Bucky Heard, one of the award-winning Righteous Brothers sang and original Righteous Brother Bill Medley was there to offer congratulations.
